i liken the Ebbs Flyer to a camel. A ship of the desert. Sure it's no thorouhbred but those noble steeds couldnt hack it where the DRZ thrives. Well appointed and set up for its mission, the perfect companion for a wanderer of the expanse.

I wasn't gonna comment on the chain dude - it's your bike, you can do whatever the hell you want with it
